    A couple of days ago I was reading on here about how people had cut fingers and feet,... with their rotatory cutters. Some I understood it happens and some I thought, UM?
    Well, DH came thru and asked what I was reading so I showed him.
    Needless to say his response was " I've asked you to please wear shoes in the hobby room and we need to go get you some of those gloves."
    My response sure whatever,but I always house shoes in here.
    I guess, I just nursed my finger for a rotatory cutter cut. (DH and I both are nurses)
    Yep, DH is at work,but he'll notice it.
    By the way did I mention I'm an uncontrolled diabetic? I didn't feel it, just started to try to figure out where the blood was coming from.
    I hear an "I told you so in my very near future."
    Sorry to those that i thought,Um.
    It was my right thumb, um? I'm right handed and had the cutter in my right hand?

    If it weren't for my fingernails I would have multiple cuts on the ends of my fingers.

    LOL!

    It happens.

    Lucky for me I got an AWESOME rotary cut right in the beginning of my quilting endeavors. Saved me from years of building up the bad karma, kwim? :lol:

    Same here. I'm left handed...or is it right handed...no for some things it is both. So at my first quilting class I found myself picking up the cutter & trying to reach over, around or under my other hand to cut. Sure enough...I sliced the top of my finger. :roll:

    I'm still trying to figure out whether to cut right or left handed, but I'm much more conscious now of where each hand & my fingers are. :thumbup:

    I always think more of people who are willing to apologize or admit that they were wrong. That shows character. Thanks for the rotary cutter safety reminders.

    I've trimmed my nails a time or two with them and always think...dang, that was too close.
